A man on pretrial release on robbery and assault charges from 2017 faces new charges in connection with an assault at Paseo Park over the weekend, according to a magistrate's complaint filed in Superior Court.

Jerry Samo, 38, also known as Christopher Samo and Gerry Samo, was charged Monday with aggravated assault, assault and resisting arrest.

Assault at Paseo Park

When police responded to a disturbance call at the park, they found a bruised man who reported being assaulted with a mop stick. Samo, who had been seen "holding an object that appeared to be a wooden stick," ran from police and tossed a bottle into the ocean, the complaint stated.

He kicked and screamed during his arrest and smelled of alcohol, the complaint stated. Police later found a vodka bottle in the water.

Under the terms of the pretrial release for the 2017 robbery case, he is supposed to be on house arrest and refrain from drinking alcohol.

Jumped from the jungle

In May 2017, a woman reported being attacked by a man who jumped from the jungle as she carried food and clothing to someone in a homeless encampment, according to court documents. The man struck her in the head with a piece of wood and grabbed her waist pouch.

Later, police found her pouch and the piece of wood, and she identified Samo as the man who attacked her. He was charged with first-degree robbery with a special allegation of possession or use of a deadly weapon in the commission of a felony, second-degree robbery, aggravated assault and theft.

On Monday he was charged with aggravated assault as a third-degree felony with the special allegation of commission of a felony while on felony release, assault as a misdemeanor and resisting arrest as a misdemeanor.
